  • State of Medicon Valley 2018
    A COMPARISON OF SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS IN 10 EUROPEAN LIFE SCIENCE CLUSTERS STOCKHOLM-UPPSALA SCOTLAND MEDICON VALLEY NETHERLANDS LONDON-CAMBRIDGE-OXFORD FLANDERS ÎLE DE FRANCE BIOVALLEY MUNICH ZURICH STATE OF MEDICON VALLEY 2018 An Analysis of Life Science in Greater Copenhagen PREFACE Medicon Valley is in a period of transition. The life science sector has been the region’s growth motor, even through the darkest years of the economic crisis. But now is no time to rest on laurels. The sector is facing new research breakthroughs in everything from personalised medicine to biopharmaceuticals and gene therapy. The dividing lines to other sectors are being dissolved with new digital solutions and arti- ficial intelligence that in part facilitate diagnostics and in part give patients increased control over their care. One of the most important foundations for the creation of a competitive life science cluster is the access to – and the emergence of – internationally leading university environments and research institutions. For this reason, we have commissioned a unique comparison of Europe’s ten most influential life science clusters, based on scientific publication volume in the life sciences, from the Dutch research institute CWTS at Leiden University. We’re happy to report that the percentual increase in scientific publications in the life sciences is greater in Medicon Valley than in any other cluster in Europe’s other Top Ten. Calculated according to the number of publications, the region’s placement is firmly in the middle of the list, at the top of which is the life science cluster in Lon- STATE OF MEDICON VALLEY 2018 don-Cambridge-Oxford.

  • Science Parks in Medicon Valley 2018
    SCIENCE PARKS IN MEDICON VALLEY 2018 An Analysis of Life Science- oriented Science Parks in Greater Copenhagen PREFACE University research in the Danish-Swedish Greater Copenhagen region needs to generate more new companies, and large-scale companies need a hand breathing new life into their innovation endeavours. Those are two of the goals behind recent years’ investments in the region’s science parks, incubators and accelerators. In many cases, the new investments target the life sciences and the region’s cluster, Medicon Valley. The new flagship is called the BioInnovation Institute, BII, and it started up earlier this year at COBIS in central Copen- hagen. BII has a budget of 392 million DKK, dispersed over three years, and is funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The initiative has its origins in a sombre verdict: too few new companies have emerged from the life science research being done at the universities. Continued investments in the region’s science parks are crucial if Medicon Valley is to hold its own against life science clusters all over the globe. The most successful clusters are the ones that attract the best researchers and the most important investors. Medicon Valley Alliance’s new analysis focuses on the powerful developments in the regi- on’s science parks. This report profiles five science parks in Medicon Valley that are either fully or significantly focused on the life sciences: COBIS, DTU Science Park, Ideon, Medeon and Medicon Village. The overview also includes the start-up ecosystem Symbion in Copen- hagen and the food- and health-oriented science park Krinova in Kristianstad.

  • Documenting Argentina Danish: Discussion of Methods of Fieldwork and Data Sampling in Little Known Rural Communities South of Buenos Aires
    Documenting Argentina Danish: Discussion of methods of fieldwork and data sampling in little known rural communities south of Buenos Aires USA and Argentina have been the primary destinations for the massive emigration from Denmark in the period 1870 to 1930: Approximately 13,000 Danes migrated to Argentina between 1871 and 1930. Around 8000 settled on the pampa south of Buenos Aires (Bjerg 2001: 32) and in a recent survey, Pærregaard (2009: 185) estimates that around 50.000 people consider themselves as Argentina Danes. This indicates that there is a relatively strong ethnic and/or cultural identity, or at least a strong knowledge about the Danish heritage. The migration from Denmark to Argentina was characterized by family emigration, many from the island of Lolland. The Protestant Danes centered their settlements on the pampa in the so-called Danes triangle between the towns Tandil, Necochea and Tres Arroyos, 350-400 km south of Buenos Aires. They formed relatively closed rural communities, building up a reputation as capable farmers, but somewhat separating themselves from the surrounding Catholic society. The closedness of the Argentina Danish community, together with the settlement pattern, seems to explain why there are probably a few thousands Argentina Danes who still speak Danish in their daily lives. They are 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants, but it is reported that even in the 4th and 5th generation it is possible to find people of Danish origin who (to some extent) still speak Danish. Nevertheless, the situation of the Danish language today seems to one of gradual language death, triggered by the interruption of intergenerational transfer (Møller 2007; Sigvardt & Nicolaisen 2011).

  • Comparing Danish Late-Generation Ethnicity in America and Argentina
    Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Studies Copyright 2019 2019, Vol. 6, No. 3, 27-40 ISSN: 2149-1291 http://dx.doi.org/10.29333/ejecs/251 Transmissions And Transformations: Comparing Danish Late-generation Ethnicity In America And Argentina Pernille Skovgaard Christensen1 and Trine Lund Thomsen2 Department of Culture and Learning, Aalborg University, Denmark Abstract: This article explores the ethnic practices and self-perceptions of later generations of Danish immigrant descendants in the USA and Argentina. Through investigating their involvement in ethnic organisations and expressions of self- identification, it engages in a concurrent debate on how ethnicity appears in those, perhaps, final stages. The comparison between later generation ethnics in the two countries shows remarkable differences, despite similar backgrounds and comparable generational stages. The study also shows, however, that possibilities for exploring ethnicity seem crucial to later self-identification. Ultimately, therefore, this seems to play a central role in defining the contours of the acculturation process through the generations. Keywords: biographical narratives, Danishness, ethnic identity, ethnic practices, intergenerational transmission, late-generation ethnics. Introduction Between 1850 and 1924, massive waves of European migrants crossed the Atlantic in search of cheap land, wealth and freedom towards the West. Most of these, about 34 million, settled in America, including roughly 300.000 Danes - the equivalent of 10% of the Denmark’s population at the time (Hvidt, 1976). Substantial numbers, however, chose other destinations, such as Argentina. Today, the descendants of the European migrants in the 4th, 5th and 6th generation are what some scholars term ‘late-generation ethnics’ (LGE’s). Herbert Gans (2014) claims that LGE’s in America are typically products of several ethnic intermarriages, and as they have multi-ethnic origins many have little memory, if any, of their immigrant ancestors.
